MSC.Software Expands Virtual Product Development With MSC.Fatigue
2005 r1 New Version Helps Engineers Reduce Simulation Set-Up Time
and Streamline Processes SANTA ANA, Calif., Feb. 1
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- MSC.Software Corp. (NYSE:MNS), the
leading global provider of virtual product development (VPD)
products including simulation software and services, today
announced the availability of MSC.Fatigue 2005 r1. MSC.Fatigue
helps engineers evaluate durability and damage tolerance of
components and systems and make changes early in the design cycle
before prototypes are ever created. This optimizes product
durability, reduces product launch risks, facilitates faster
time-to-market, and reduces prototyping and testing costs. "We are
seeing a trend within our long-time customers who want to expand
their skill set and utilize new, complementary technologies. With
the importance placed on durability as a way to reduce warranty
costs, products like MSC.Fatigue are a natural extension of the
work our customers are already doing," said Frank Perna, chairman
and chief executive officer of MSC.Software. "We have a very clear
strategy for increasing the software usage of our installed base
and the key to that strategy is to provide them with new,
easy-to-use tools that are well-integrated within their engineering
environment. MSC.Fatigue is this kind of tool and we look forward
to it's continued growth in 2005 and beyond." Mechanical systems
that fail while in operation cause serious problems for all parties
involved. Manufacturers are faced with high warranty costs and
liabilities, but more importantly, the safety of persons operating
faulty cars, trucks, aircraft, or machinery may be at risk. To
reduce the risk that their products will fatigue prematurely or
unexpectedly, manufacturers may over-design parts using much higher
than necessary margins of safety, which adds weight and cost, or
rely heavily on physical fatigue tests to accurately predict
failure conditions and life expectancy, which increases costs and
time-to-market. As a key component in the Virtual Product
Development (VPD) process and a member of the SimOffice family of
products, MSC.Fatigue enables customers to quickly and
qualitatively predict the effect of proposed design changes on
product life. Used in conjunction with MSC's broad suite of VPD
tools, MSC.Fatigue allows users to optimize their designs for
strength, weight, and shape. Some of the new benefits and
capabilities in MSC.Fatigue 2005 r1 include the following: Reduced
simulation set-up time when using the Aerospace Load Spectrum
capability: This enhanced capability provides an option to import
data from an ASCII file for block creation. Industrial strength
simulations using the Large Model Translation capability in
FATTRANS: The translation of large models is performed by using
logic to break up the model in groups based on available memory.
Intelligent messaging is available to guide the user to override
the default memory allocation and specify custom memory allocation.
Enhanced productivity using the new SIMMAX utility: SIMMAX extracts
a time history from a series of DAC files or a single RPC file
based on two methods: -- Location of max peak, min valley, or abs
max in the control channel -- Scanning input channels for the
single largest maximum, minimum or absolute maximum and extracting
for each channel, the simultaneous values of all other channels at
the position of the largest event Expanded scope of Virtual Product
Development using Gray Cast Iron analysis: This new capability
takes into account the dominant influence of the flake-like shape
of graphite in Gray Cast Iron on its mechanical properties. The
graphite flakes act as stress raisers, which may prematurely cause
localized plastic flow at low stresses, and initiate fracture in
the matrix at higher stresses. Enhanced Integration with MSC.Patran
through full support of CWELD Spot Weld Modeling capability:
Simulation of realistic loading environments utilizing the Redesign
Duty Cycle capability: The Redesign Duty Cycle takes advantage of
several capabilities including the ability to use load time
histories directly from the source directory, the ability to add or
delete sequences, events and time histories, the ability to
independently configure events and a reporting tool that provides
users with damage statistics from events and sequences. Leverage
diverse Operating System based computational resources on the
network and expect robust/faster simulations using Analysis
Manager: In this new version, the Windows-Unix interaction
limitation has been removed. Additionally, the input to Analysis
Manager is handled without any user intervention. MSC.Fatigue is
developed in close cooperation with nCode, MSC.Software's fatigue
and durability partner. MSC.Fatigue is currently available under
the MSC.MasterKey licensing System (formerly the VPD Campus
Licensing System). The MSC.MasterKey system is tailored to the
unique environment of every customer, maximizing productivity and
engineering budgets by providing full-range simulation capabilities
and flexible product management from a token-based system. For more
